Walleye Fishing in New York

Walleye fishing on Eastern Lake Onatario started out slow
for May. The first few weeks of the season were dismal on
the usually hot areas. As conditions have improved June has
been a whole lot better. Big walleyes are coming in on each
night trip. The day bite on Oneida lake has been very good.
Slow trolling worms and spinners has been producing good numbers
of fish. Walleye fishing remains good through July. We still
have dates for charters available.

Walleye fishing on Lake Ontario has been improving greatly.
Trolling big stickbaits along the shoreline has been producing
some trophy sized walleyes. Brown Trout fishing has been slowing
down. We are still catching some brown trout but working hard
for them. The water temperatures are going up fast and fish
are moving out deeper in the Lake. Oneida Lake walleye fishing
has been very good as well.

May 7th is opening day of walleye season in 2011. We mainly
fish Lake Ontario, Oswego River & Harbor at night for
May catching 10-12 pound walleyes on a regular basis. 10-15
pound brown trout are common for the first few weeks of the
season as well. June and July we start switching gears to
Lake Oneida. For 2011 walleye season we have a new 20 foot
Alaskan lund for slow trolling worm harness and casting sonars
on Lake Oneida. We still run trips on Lake Ontario out of
Oswego, Sandy Pond and Henderson June & July. Whether
you want trophies on the Lake Ontario or dinner sized walleye
from Oneida we can help you out.
Thanks for checking us out!

Post-spawn Walleye are very hungry and therefore trolling
tactics are very effective. We mainly troll at night when
the Walleye's are feeding the heaviest. These fish are true
trophy size and average 10 pounds. It is not uncommon to catch
trophy 12-13 pound walleyes. But
when it comes to their appetite the walleyes are very similar
to us. Some days, they will go to great lengths to please
their bellies by roaming expansive flats or cruising miles
of shoreline in search of a few crayfish or shiners. Some
days, they prefer not to spend a lot of energy in search of
dinner and simply rest on the bottom and wait for dinner to
be come to them.

About
Walleye Fishing

If you are looking for an exciting and truly memorable walleye
fishing excursion that you won't soon forget, I would suggest
that you schedule a fishing trip with the walleye guide. Whether
you fish the Oswego River, Salmon River or Oneida NY, you
are in for the adventure of a lifetime.

The eastern basin of Lake Ontario is loaded with huge Walleyes.
From Oswego Harbor to Black River Bay,
there are many miles of trollable shoreline to catch these
fish. The fish enter late March to early April. Walleye season
is closed then to protect the futures young. The first Saturday
in May is the seasons opener. By this time the fish will have
moved back into the mouths and inlets they originated from.

Big walleyes often avoid primary structures when the fishing
peaks during the day. Walleyes are armed with excellent night
vision, making them more active after dark. This is the best
time to catch walleyes.

We have found the ideal water temperatures along the Lake
Ontario shoreline should be around 49-54 degrees to produce
the most decent walleye fishing. When the bait fish are in
the big hungry fish are following. Stick baits and covering
lots of water has been the key to success.

June

June walleye fishing on Lake Ontario and Oneida lake has
been decent so far.
Slow trolling large stickbaits after dark along the shoreline
of Lake Ontario has been producing trophy size walleye. Worm/spinners
trolled along the east shore of Oneida lake has been awesome
in the evening. Slow trolling small stickbaits after dark
has been even better. Limits of 18-20''ers has been easy to
come by. We are offering great deal on short 4 hour trips
for angler who might not want to stay out all night. Give
us a call for details. We have PLENTY of openings the next
few weeks.
